革命陣營的內部論爭? : 分析1928年革命文學論爭魯迅成為攻擊目標的原因, Wang Chi Wong

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

1928年爆發的“革命文學”論爭，在中國現代文學史和政治史上都有巨大的意義和深遠的影響。它標誌了左翼作家直接參與、干預以至控制現代中國文壇的開始。毛澤東便曾經高度評價過這時期在文化戰線上取得的勝利，這說明了為甚麼“革命文學論爭”在大陸出版的文學史著作及研究中佔了這樣重要的地位。

正由於這個緣故，有關“革命文學論爭”的論述為數不少，但因為政治及意識形態的原因，很多研究文章不但不能解決問題，而且往往引起新的爭論，所以“革命文學論爭”還是有值得深入探究的地方。本文會集中討論一個問題：為甚麼魯迅會成為革命文學派的攻擊目標？

Agency Beyond Subjectivity : The Unredeemed Project Of May Fourth Fiction, Deirdre Sabina Knight

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

This paper is part of a larger project in which I make a case for the central importance of the problem of free will to considerations of Chinese modernity. I begin by distinguishing between two key aspects of modernity and the Enlightenment: (1) subjectivity, or the realm of consciousness including the capacity for critical reason, and (2) agency, or acting on the world outside consciousness in a way that makes a difference. I then suggest that neglecting the development of rational agency cripples the force of the commitment to human freedom that drives the project of modernity. In calling attention …

中國現代文學的整體維度及其局限, Zaifu Liu

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

本文我想借助文學維度這一視角進一步考察中國現代文學在審美內涵上有哪些缺陷和局限。這裏包括兩個問題：（1）作為審美主體的作家，他們的思考、想像、情感的維度層面有何局限；（2）作為審美成果的作品，它所展示的想像空間在維度上有何局限。在考察這一局限的同時，我還考察本世紀的作家為跨越 局限而作的努力，特別是八十年代之後的大陸新作家所作的努力。

Beyond Cultural And National Identities : Current Re-Evaluation Of The Kominka Literature From Taiwan's Japanese Period, Sung Sheng, Yvonne Chang

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

This paper is an offshoot of a larger, ongoing project that intends to deal with the relationship between various artistic formations and the dominant culture in Taiwan's post-1949 era. Though the lifting of martial law in 1987 has demarcated this era into two drastically different periods and a clearer contour of the new period seems to be just beginning to emerge in the mid-1990s, various cultural forces are still busily negotiating with each other. Nonetheless, there seems to be a general consensus as to what constitutes a core of the new dominant culture: the spirit of pen-t'u, or a nativist …
